Thanks man I appreciate the positive feedback. I know on n/a's it's usually a damn good Idea and has some really good results however I'm not quite sure with it being a turbo an the air is already going to be hot when compressed but hopefully not quite as hot with the cai.

Great! It's a great new way to tune S4s! Just rotate the AFM to decide how far lean or rich to go! Right? . . . Right? :-p
Seriously though, that CAI looks cool, but I doubt it makes much of a difference, as everyone has stated :/

As an example, the decrease in air density (and hence oxygen available for combustion) resulting from heating air from 70degF (outside) to 120degF (engine bay) is ~5%. That's free horsepower there for the taking, not to mention addtional resistance to detonation. Considering how upset some people here get about the extra 20lb from a dual exhaust system (less than 1% of the car's weight), I'd think you'd be spitting tacks over losing 5% of your power...
